sorry maybe one day ill stop being mad about how the anime adapted the confession arc but today is not the day because im stuck thinking about how much of a blunder it was not to include this page
because like. to me this was the thing that defined my reading of this arc. this was the moment that made me go "oh, this isn't mob unconsciously doing this, this is someone else"
so then when you read through the rest of it you share mob's frustration. why are all these people treating this thing like it's mob? this isn't mob. this is some dangerous entity puppeting his body and hurting people! mob would never do this!
and then
oh.
oh.
this is mob.
this is mob as much as the teru who nearly killed someone who refused to fight back just because they didnt share his worldview is teru. this is mob as much as the ritsu who hurt dozens of people weaker than him just because he could is ritsu. this is mob the way the reigen who lied to him for years is reigen.
the part of you that lashes out and hurts people when you're scared or hurt or frustrated isnt some other scary thing that you have to control.
if I had a nickel for every time David Tennant has played a genderfluid, trauma-filled immortal having the worst day of their life in 2023, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but apparently it's enough to making me going insane
The lovely @hazbinhobo has begun a new fic project, First Bite and I was given the honor of proof-reading the first chapter before it went live and have been inspired to make fanart for it! :D
This fic essentially follows the same plot as their previous fic, A Tail of Beignets, but where that one was told in Charlie's romcom-flavored POV, First Bite now retells the story from Alastor's POV, who actually had a lot more going on than we previously had insight to and he actually experiences it all a lot more like horror :'D
This honestly might be my favorite characterization of him in a charlastor fic to date, he's so messed up about this jfjdjd
the way my cinema GASPED at andrew, donald glover, the mcu canon reference, the venom reference AND tobey maguire .... i was close to puking i was so fucking excited
Did I ever post this anyways I Hate tumblr formatting sometimes did you know that
ID: A pencil drawing of John Dory and Floyd from Trolls. Floyd looks nervous and says "You know, if you are having sensory overload you can tell me, right? I won't be offended!". John is facing away from them, looking at a scrapbook and says "Uh sensory overload? Like a meltdown? I don't have meltdowns." Floyd looks unamused and says "Last night you told me, quote, not to look at you, because it made you agitated" John says "That's- an exaggeration." Floyd says "It isn't." John turns to face Floyd, closing the book and says "Ok so sometimes I don't like people looking at me! Not a meltdown! I'm too old for that." Floyd looks confused. Floyd crosses their arms and says "Uh huh ok. So why do you always wear goggles again?" John puts the book under his arm and says "Uh, eye protection? Oh plus I focus better when I can only see one color! It's calming." Floyd says "So in other words you use sensory deprivation to keep yourself from getting overwhelmed." Floyd puts his hands out and says "And being overwhelmed leads too? Come on you know the answer!" They usher John. John winces, with a sharp inhale and says "A meltdown." Offscreen Floyd says "Yes." End ID.
